I enjoy coin collecting. My grandfather has always collected coins and I've recently gotten hooked. It doesn't have to cost a lot. I can go to the bank and pick of a box of coin (whichever denomination I'm in the mood for) for exactly face value. A box of cents is $25, a box of nickels is $100, a box of dimes is $250 and boxes of half dollars or quarters are $500.
Once I get a box, I go through and pull out the better coins (there are books to help with this or websites). I keep all interesting coins and try to fill holes in my coin books.
The coins that I don't want/need can be returned to the bank and put straight back into my account (though it's often better to return the coins to a different bank (not just a different branch but a different bank) so that I don't end up searching the same boxes over and over). So most of my money goes back and I can then get another box.
Some things to search for: wheat cents, silver dimes, silver quarters, old coins, error coins, coins with an "s" mint mark - they may be proof coins etc. There's always the chance of finding a real treasure!

5a: I'm writing a short story about an alternate origin for Venom.
5b: I'm also writing a screenplay about Captain America, which if I'm extremely lucky may someday possibly hopefully become a movie.
5c: And an essay contradicting my history book's view of American government, for extra credit. (I'm homeschooled.)
5d: I novelize and sometimes rewrite TV episodes--I'm working on Hogan's Heroes right now.
5e: I occasionally write poetry. Rhyming poetry. I know it sounds weird... LOL
6: I do a lot of reading, especially adventure stories.

Cross Stitch! It's really good. I've been sewing a Japanese lady pattern. Trouble is, I haven't done it non-stop, so it's taken like a year and a half! My boyfriend recently discovered Pixel art - it's likes cross stitch,but with plastic boards and coloured pins. it's so simple! Love watching sci- fi. Going for walks and really long drives! And camping!
